Yes, and you would think that this would be obvious, however some people treat this place like their own personal blogs.

The one that is soon to go OOP, at least according to the last e-mail from True Blue, it's on "Last Chance" alert. :rcry

I don't know why but I was looking at getting some more of Harris's work as leader recently, I only have "Newer Than New", but I started looking at some of his sideman dates, he was on quite a few classics, major and minor, throughout the years. Here's a few, as like me, you probably have more Harris in your collection that you think.

If this is true and I have no reason to believe it isn't, then not only is it a dickhead thing to do but it's also unbelievably childish and petulant, a real "they're my toys and you're not playing" attitude, a total drama queen. Especially when you have been given a position of trust in what is supposed to be an online community. I have never understood the obsession some people have with announcing that they are leaving a Message Board, as if it's some sort of an end of an era. Just don't post anymore, its very simple.

Stress. Stress isn't a factor for Guus, it's because he already has too many other commitments, one of which is the Russian national team. I should have added some smileys. I think it's becasue he's very very smart, the Chelsea squad, despite last night's result, needs some fresh blood, not just a few big name/big money signings. There are quite a few players there who are past their best or not really that good anyway. Without another massive splurge by Roman, he would always be failing to live up to the expectations, however after saying that, if they win something this year there will be a lot of pressure on the Chelski Board to keep him so don't rule it out.

Stress.

I think you will have a similar reaction/feelings/enjoyment/whatever by listening to this; I've listened to it about 5 or 6 times over the last week or so and Wilbur is amazing on this one, as is Philly Joe.

Yes, this seems to be back to normal now, thanks to the fix-it people, whoever they may be.

So it was all over then was it, fuckin' hell I'll have to stop watching football or start smoking again. It's just too much work being a fan.

This is what I thought, there are loads of threads on these types releases, why this is suddenly an issue for some people is quite strange. I actually had this one and sold it to someone on the Board fairly recently. To be honest I didn't think it was that good really, they sound very, very loose, to the point of being sloppy. I made a mistake here, I had the Paris bootleg not the Stuttgart one, they confused me by using the same covers, kinda anyway.

Whoa Jim, do you play organ or something???? :lol: Seriously, how on earth do you know such detailed specifics? that's kinda amazing. I am very impressed.

Ah, that explains it. What a stupid request, she must be a bit nuts.

Thought I'd bump this thread with this one, is it worth checking out??? I presume this is a rip off of Sextet of Orchestra U.S.A.: Theatre Music of Kurt Weill, plus a few odds and ends, two of the last three tracks seem to be from "The Wonderful World of Jazz" by John Lewis. Eric Dolphy/John Lewis: Play Kurt Weill. Here's the blurb on it; Product Description Digitally remastered and expanded edition. The complete Mike Zwerin album presenting modern Jazz musicians playing the music of Kurt Weill. Eric Dolphy and John Lewis were the stars of half of this album (Dolphy died before the second session was scheduled in 1965). As a bonus, all of the other small group studio recordings by Dolphy and Lewis playing together. Originally issued in different conceptual albums which included music from several sessions and with many variations in personnel, the small group collaborations between Eric Dolphy and John Lewis have never been previously compiled on a single set. 13 tracks. Lonehill. 2008. Track Listings 1. Alabama Song 2. Havana Song 3. As You Make Your Bed 4. Mack The Knife 5. Bilbao Song 6. Barbara Song 7. Pirate Jenny 8. Mack The Knife [Alternate Take] 9.

Thanks for that and the link to your site. Regarding Evans, I don't know why I don't enjoy his playing, I only really like him as a sideman. I feel it's just kind of "faux-emotional playing" for lack of a better phrase, almost like he has kittens and puppies on his piano as he's playing. :lol: I know that's a bit harsh and I know I would be in the minority with this opinion, but as a few other people have said before, "Everybody Digs Bill Evans", well except me, or maybe it should be "Everybody Digs Bill Evans???" :lol: It's all in the ear of the behearer.

I saw this the other day in Tower: Eric Dolphy/John Lewis: Play Kurt Weill Here's the blurb on it; Product Description Digitally remastered and expanded edition.

Night Float I presume this is a rip of Sextet of Orchestra U.S.A.: Theatre Music of Kurt Weill, plus a few odds and ends. Is it any good, worth checking out? BTW the amount of Black/Grey market releases they had there was nuts.

So what about the Chelski/Liverpool tie now, considering the weekends results.

Cheers Denis.

Nice one, thanks, do you have discog. or even a link to a discog. for this one by any chance??? Even a track listing???

eh... great post, I think.

Because we love JAZZ, not Opera, and I don't like her talk show either. But seriously I have been having a few problems with Firefox myself recently, nothing major, but it does piss you off after a while.

I'd love to hear the Live at Birdland 1950 w/Getz. Don't have the Vol. 2 myself but the clips on Amazon sounded good.

I'm sure it would need new frets at the very least!!!

Welcome Jon and thanks for the post. I am a huge fan of your fathers work, especially his recordings with Getz, imho those recordings are up there with the best of the best of "Jazz". Very interesting to hear that your father was not a fan of Tristano's playing yet he was a fan of Bill Evans, many people, including myself find Evans a very cold player. :D But then again, I was reading an Evans quote recently where he said something like Konitz and Marsh were far more of an influence on him then Lennie was, especially those early Prestige sides. So even someone like Evans, who I thought would have loved Tristano didn't dig him as much as you would think. I always thought Jimmy Raney must have played with some of the Tristano gang at some stage. Anyway, I like many others, would love if you would share any stories/memories of your father here, we don't get many sons of real Jazz legends, though we have quite a few sons of bit....... well never mind. P.S. from a purely nerd point of view, what ever happened to your fathers old guitars, his ES-150 should be in the Smithsonian or something, that axe must have some serious mojo, if it's still in one piece that is.

He was a fuckin' legend, thanks for the reminder... Great clip. Phil Silvers in "An Evening at the Improv"

I've occasionally wondered what studying with Tristano would have been like. He would've kicked my ass, I'm sure, made a soldier outta me, he was probably a great teacher as far as the actual instruction. His surviving students are quite devoted and close-knit. But that cult............. Well I think the whole Tristano cult thing is a bit over played and probably not true, but I find it interesting that two great, original and unique soloists, from completely different backrounds would both give the same type of advice on how to start out, basically start imitating your heros until you find your own sound.
